She also sent a story to an agent who showed interest in it during #PitMad on Twitter. Now she is waiting for results. For her the waiting is fun and exciting. She says, “Once you do your best, there’s nothing else to do.” and “Gotta be in it to win it.” and “Seriously?? It’s a cardboard chef! He’s not going to hurt you!”

Comments on: "Waiting and Waiting" (79)

Cupcake, you are so right…waiting is hard. I waited for mom and dad for over 2 weeks….that was rough. Believe mom heard about it when she got home. I love the picture of you in your booties. You are one good looking woofie.

Cupcake, Waiting is torture! Especially for those of us on the impatient side. (Although it’s better than a rejection. At least, in the waiting mode, there’s still Sisyphusian (sp?) hope.) Keeping my paws crossed for your mom’s submissions. 🙂

So how do you get on with those ‘shoes’ ? I dare not get Charlie and Bully some, it won’t last very long. Now that we are starting autumn I am even in 2 minds about winter coats for these 2. They are such delinquents…

I used to eat my coats when I first came here. Mom taught me to wear them nicely so I won’t shiver. I’m still working on wearing the boots nicely. They do keep the ice and rock salt from burning my feet, but they’re tricky. C and B might like them after all…

Waiting is NOT fun……but we do learn that our humans expect us to get used to waiting whether we like it or not! Cupcake I wouldn’t trust that cardboard chef either……I think that’s a FAKE smile on his face! BEWARE!

Waiting stinks Cupcake…i am sure you are sick of waiting for the mailman to quit his job and move to Florida….i am sure mum is very excited about waiting to hear about her work..and what the results will be ..and what they have to say..and yes that Chef is creepy indeed..he seems a little too jolly…just sayin..loves Fozziemum xxx

Cupcake there is a treat famine going on for me right now. The scale… *shudder*. I have to say, that is a darling bathroom 🙂 Waiting is tough but sometimes when you are waiting for a good thing the waiting is almost better than what you are waiting for… anticipation 😀 The cardboard chef guy gives me a little shiver too.

I’m with you Cupcake… waiting is the worst thing on earth… and that cardboard chef is scary, of course… but only after midnight …when he walks around on his cardboard feet… I cross my paws that your mom hasn’t to wait too long for good news from that agent. :o)

I’m sure Archie would agree with you Cupcake. Especially for the mailman and UPS truck — there’s always a treat. Good luck to your mom. Are you planning your entry for the Erma Bombeck contest next Jan. 2016? Have never entered because I’m not funny.

Tell your mom to get a copy of “The Thirteenth Gift” by Joanne Huist Smith, released in 2014. It’s an adult book written by a local author who has Erma’s sense of humor. Both my husband and I laughed til we cried at this very moving and inspiring story about grief. I will be gifting this book to everyone I know this year. Made #5 on NYT Religous/Spiritual books.

I’m with you. Waiting. UGH! I’m waiting for things to get back to normal – whatever that may be and, dang, that could be a long wait. In the mean time, don’t let those cardboard creeps creep you out. Oh and I heard about that #PitMad submission and the results and that don’t know what she’s missin’. #PityFul

Thanks, G. Deep down, you know there’s no normal. There’s just now. Don’t wait for the sun. Dance in the rain. If you don’t, you may never dance. Mom is not discouraged about the rejection. She’s already planning to resubmit someplace else. Rejection is the normal around here. But we dance anyway. Well…. She makes ME dance, anyway…. #vine xoxo

Cupcake you look very cute in your boots – do you ever walk bare paw? We’ve never worn anything on our paws and Mum goes ouch if the are very cold and we put our paws on her to get them warm when we come flying in.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

It goes both ways, A. Mom and I rescued each other AND we keep each other sane. The answer was a big, fat NO from the agent. So that story got a little bit of an overhaul and is out somewhere else trying to get some attention.

Cupcake, that cardboard chef looks scary to us too. And our Mom hates to wait too. It is a really hard thing to do. Sorry to read in the comments that the answer was no to your sent in item. You all have a great week end.

Have to tell you darling, mommy and I LOVED LOVED LOVED this blog especially a lot. You in your outfits is the big draw and you and your concerns for the coffee lid and the chef and pumpkins and the mailman too? What a barrage of scary things to endure, you delicate flower! Love and smoochies to you, sweet baby! xox

That’s funny stuff……errr I mean, “oh no! Not the coffee lid again, eeeeeek”. You’re so right, it can be a scary world out there for little gals like you. We love seeing the UPS guy at work because we know he’s bringing new scrapbook stuff to the store! It’s like Christmas on those days, weeeeeeeee! xoxox Boomdee
